When we talk about a channel in the water, we mean a pathway in which the depth of the water is sufficient for the passage of whatever shipping or boats normally travel by means of that channel. If a ship does not remain in a channel, it is possible that it will encounter shallow water and run aground, or it may even strike a rock and be damaged (as in the recent memorable case of the Costa Concordia).
